Usage

Quick Start with Ollama/Zoo Node

# Using Zoo Desktop
zoo model download coder-1

# Using Ollama/Zoo Node API
ollama pull zoo/coder-1

Python Integration

from zoo import CoderModel

# Load the model
model = CoderModel.load("zooai/coder-1")

# Code completion
code = model.complete("""
def fibonacci(n):
    # Generate the nth Fibonacci number
""")

# Code review
review = model.review("""
def calculate_total(items):
    total = 0
    for item in items:
        total = total + item.price * item.quantity
    return total
""")

# Bug fixing
fixed_code = model.fix("""
def binary_search(arr, target):
    left, right = 0, len(arr)
    while left < right:
        mid = (left + right) / 2
        if arr[mid] == target:
            return mid
        elif arr[mid] < target:
            left = mid
        else:
            right = mid
    return -1
""")
